Nooooo! Too much chance for it to create pressure on the young pregnant woman - IMHO, no exceptions. If a young woman is homeless, etc. there are other options. I believe that we must make some hard and fast rules - it is necessary to prevent coercion to have stricter laws re this sort of situation.
Any contact before birth between adoptive parents and a pregnant woman should not be allowed. (I know many adoptive parents disagree and some birth parents too.) I know that some people think that extreme - but, there is just too much potential for pressure. I do not believe that adoptive parents are generally evil and intend to pressure young women, but, it happens. They may not even understand or know what causes undue pressure.
Plus, it is subjecting adoptive parents to potential pain and grief to get attached to a woman and/or her baby. If she changes her mind - it is harder for them if they know her and are thinking that getting her baby is a done deal.
